An Anti-Valentine's Day Party

Related To:

Did you just suffer a nasty breakup? Are you down on love? Or perhaps you just can’t stand all those red hearts and flowers? Nadia G — the fiercest chef around — has the perfect anti-Valentine’s Day plan for those dodging Cupid’s arrows: a girls’ night in, complete with tasty eats. Save your formal wear for another fest; this pajama poker party is all about comfy and cool.

Go for Gorgonzola

For a main course, this creamy, rich Gorgonzola and Portobello Mushroom Risotto will steal everyone’s attention away from the poker chips. Feel free to have seconds (or thirds) — you’re wearing pants with an elastic waistband, after all.

Dark, Dark Chocolate

And for the anti-Valentine’s finale (a take-home gift or a second dessert, if appetite allows), put a devilish spin on the holiday’s main sweet by adding crumbled bacon to melted chocolate, then pouring the mixture into skull-shaped molds. (They really have some bite.)
